Today’s the day! Or, it was supposed to be until new Pokémon from Sun & Moon were leaked and then officially revealed yesterday. Even so, we’re still expecting a modicum of new Pokémon information in addition to an English trailer! The Japanese and Western trailers have all differed so far, so we may just see something we didn’t see last night! The official English site contains new details about last night’s Pokémon!
We now have the official English trailer and some new updates:
- Charjabug has a new ability, Battery: “Charjabug has the Battery Ability, an Ability not seen before in any other Pokémon. The Battery Ability allows it to raise the power of allies’ special moves.”
- Vikavolt has the ability Levitate
- Tapu Koko has the ability Electric Surge which creates Electric Terrain when it enters battle. It also knows the brand-new attack Nature’s Madness which decreases opponent’s HP by half. It’s closed form is teased to be used at certain special times… It is also the guardian of Melemele Island
- Bruxish is the Gnash Teeth Pokémon and has the abilities Dazzling and Strong Jaw. The former is a new ability which prevents opponents from using priority moves that strike first (appears to block only offensive moves from description)
- Cutiefly is the Bee Fly Pokémon and has the abilities Honey Gather and Shield Dust
- Drampa is the Placid Pokémon and sports the abilities Beserk and Sap Sipper. It’s Sp. Attack will increase by 1 if its HP drops below half for the former ability, a new addition to the game
- Komala is the Drowsing Pokémon and has the ability Comatose which keeps it asleep and safe from other status conditions
- Rockruff is the Puppy Pokémon and has abilities Keen Eye and Vital Spirit
- Togedemaru is the Roly-Poly Pokémon (omg, how adorable) and has the abilities Iron Barbs and Lightning Rod
- We also have confirmation that Zubat will appear in the wild!
While we’re waiting, enjoy chatting in the comments or in our live chat room!

ps- Swadloon has been very lonely, have you visited our forums lately?
Cutiefly can detect the auras of living things, including people, Pokémon, and plants. They search out flowers by the color and brightness of their auras and then gather their nectar and pollen.
When living creatures are excited, it seems that their auras resemble those of flowers in full bloom. As a result, these Pokémon tend to gather near people or Pokémon feeling particularly happy or sad.
Cutiefly mostly live in the fields and meadows on the outskirts of cities, but they sometimes appear in towns and even inside buildings, drawn in by the emotions of the living beings of the community.
I guess so but you shoud have just replied to yourself with all this not a new comment for each
Drampa are dragons that live alone in the mountains 10,000 feet above sea level. Since they can’t obtain the Berries they feed on at that range, they descend to the base of the mountains at dawn every day. Drampa love communicating with people and Pokémon.
Drampa are especially gentle with children and often appear at schools and parks where children gather.
While Drampa is usually a very gentle Pokémon, it can fly into a rage if a child it cares for is hurt in some way. The Dragon Breath move that it fires off at such times is powerful enough to blow down buildings!
Drampa can have the Berserk Ability, an Ability that no other Pokémon has ever had. With the Berserk Ability, this Pokémon’s Sp. Atk will go up by 1 when its HP drops below half.
Is Pikachu firin’ his lazer in the new features on the Pokemon website?
I’m more focused on that Stoutland pic.
Seriously, riding Stoutland around makes me wanna scream outside my window.
Let my neighbors know of my excitement at 9 in the morning xD
They added Nekkoala and Iwanko to the English site! Their English names are Komala and Rockruff
and riding pokemon
it’s a flying bug that’s not flying and has levitate!
Grrrrrrr well I’ll just have to use Fire and Rock to kill it
So Tapu Koko isn’t in the legendary list…..interesting…..I wonder if it’s considered special in general like a mythical or if it’s just a regular Pokemon that’s particularly special to Alola.
zygarde’s not there either.
Hmmm you are correct….and neither is Magearna…I suppose it’s just something they’ll reveal when the rest of the guardians are shown off lol
More leaning on the latter, if that’s the case.
If it was Mythical, it probably would have been stated, like Magearna.
Makes sense to me. I guess we’ll have to find out! lol
Well Solgaleo and Lunala are, while Zygarde isn’t
Maybe Tapu Koko isnt a legendary but more a pseudo, nearer the back of the dex (but obviously all the guardians are one time encounters only?)
riding pokemon is back
Take these everyone
Serebii says riding pokemon is back 😀
SO IT IS TRUE AHHHHH RIDING STOUTLAND I AM DONE THE NEIGHBORS HAVE TO KNOW OF MY EXCITEMENT OF RIDING A GIANT DOG AROUND
I love Stoutland! I secretly hope we’ll be able to ride pokemon at any time in the game rather than special areas
Same, cause I really want to ride a Stoutland around intimidating everyone.that wants to face me
I wish every land pokemon big enough was able to be ridden, every pokemon that can fly and is big enough could be soared on, and every surfing pokemon could be surfed on lol. That would be so cool. I just want to soar on Volcarona
Your comment made me think of this haha (refresh)
I thought of exactly that picture when I typed this! That’s why I had to put “big enough” lol
Oops i missed this comment XD
Zyagrades ability is Power Construct.
10% and 50% change form when HP drops below 50%
Drampa Berserk Ability raises it’s special attack when it’s HP drops below 50%
The picture of the green forest-y area looks so visually stunning and the person riding Stoutland looks interesting. Maybe his helmet is based off a Pokemon (maybe a fossil, who knows?)
One thing i noticed when Drampa used dragon breathe it is angled downwards to match yungoos height. Which is neat and makes the animation better.
Is that trainer riding stoutland?!
sure is
Yes. Yes. And Yes.
Awesome!
I hope and I’m speculating but he looks like a Villan in A way with the mask
Can’t say I’m a huge fan of the Zygarde form art…..I liked the anime art more….lol
Core Enforcer is a move that only Zygarde can learn, and it can erase the Abilities of any opponents that have already used a move on the same turn that it’s used.

Totes adorbs!
Still can’t believe they made an ability that seems to No Sell Priority moves.
One thing that they’re they’re really good at doing is keeping the rest of the 3 islands a secret
They’ve shown off Melemele, and that’s it. I mean if we’re all this psyched about what little they’ve shown, this should be a big game!
Also, Tapu Koko is the “Land spirit Pokemon” – I wonder how that’s gonna tie into the game (what will the other guardians be classified as: sea/sky etc?)
So Tapu Koko’s Natute’s Madness attack is just a glorified Super Fang
So I wonder what that laser beam Pikachu is all about. The blurb next to the pictures says that we’ll “discover moves more powerful than any seen before” I wonder if that means that there is the potential to “create” moves. Like how (anime reference incoming lol) Ash and Dawn were using old moves to create new ones.
Charge beam
why is charge beam in a new feature gallery?
Could be different?
That’s a previously known move though. Why would they show Pikachu doing that and then say that we’ll discover brand new moves?
Well they’ve obviously chosen to hide what Pikachu is aiming at. My guess is that the new feature is what it’s participating in
I think he is not riding Stoutland, he is riding a vehicle that is drifted by the Stoutland. Notice the steering wheel kind of thing and belt-like thing around Stoutland.
Yeah, I guess that makes sense
But still, we are guiding it, it is taking me places.
I’m still hyped for it cause I will be intimidating everyone in Alola
Or this steering wheel can driectly control Stoutland as well, because belt seems like something that is electrical or magical??.
Rockruff is definitely going to be in my 1st playthrough team, such a cutie!!
mine as well.
Yep
Dang it I want it too
But everyone else wants it too
What are you? Some kinda hipster?
Yes he is.
Hell no, I just don’t want everyone having the same thing that’s all
That’s….still sounding like you’re a hipster.
I’m just saying.

Did you call me? 😛
I’ll have to see what the ground types are in the region. I usually never have both a ground and rock type unless one of them is a dual type.
Its description also confirms it evolves at least once so i cant wait to see what it turns into
Even if it wouldnt evolve, I would still get it. Its a dog and those just happens to be one of my favourite animals.
Ughhhh I gotta go to work
And it’s from 10-5 barrrf
get paid, get laid, gatorade
Rockruff’s description says it evolves but Komala’s says “its parents”… This lil baby better evolve e.e
I do think that Komala will evolve. It’s too…simple to be a one stage (maybe my theory and its description could mean the same thing where it mentions it getting angry when it loses its log?)
It gets really slangry? Sleepy and angry? I feel like it has to be a psychic type to control its actions while its sleeping.
Or it’s just high all the time and sleep walks/battles?
Just give it some tree stump log bongos and let it evolve into an annoying Vigoroth 2.0
I’m gonna have to name mine Bongo Bongo.
Komala’s evo is gonna be a pissed Koala because someone made it wide awake
I feel like this is another Pancham situation. We speculated a bigger panda with a bamboo staff but still got something badass looking.
Komala’s evo will hopefully be badass too. It still is a koala tho and those arent big so we might get a Muuna-Musharna situation.
I think it’ll have two more stages. The third it may finally wake up or something. Maybe it’ll have a special ability where it switches between awake and asleep and it affects its stats.
Reminds me of Darmanitan
True, although the psychic darmanitan form kinda is useless considering its defense are so bad it probably won’t survive to switch to the other form…and if it did transform it’s too slow to survive the next turn.
Komala’s sleep forme and awake forme could be similar to Slaking and Vigoroth respectively
Hopefully without the traunt though :I
Why the hell does the official English site never link directly to the YouTube videos like the Japanese site does???? I hate those crappy little players they have that are never in full quality…..
